Re: AS380 separations released by UK CAA

Be careful with drawing too many conclusions, these are precautionary measures , similar to those taken in 1968-69 when the 747 was being test flown , for those old enough to remember, ( gosh ! age shows )

These value apply to the 3 prototypes being currently flowm , and as Daysleeper said, the current tests in Istres will be interesting to watch.
I was told Airbus believes the A380 behaves better than the 777 and has chartered one from AF to compare.
